We have a saying in my country: the best sailors are on the shore giving advice to captain on the boat.' Sure, they might have taken inflation more serious earlier and dramatically raised rates. Guess who would have been blamed for the

People are constantly convicted of insider trading that have very remote connections with the people receiving the privileged information. The great thing about insider trading is that the trading part is public, regulators do track trading

Mass migration and everything that comes with it, would be extremely destebalising, most likely leading to another world war and potentially the collapse of modern civilisation. Sure it's unlikely that human kind will go extinct but th

Sure, but why on earth would any tourist choose to stay at some off site tourist hub? The whole point of visiting a historic city like say Lisbon, is that you get the stay in an historic city, not some modern off site tourist hub where you

No they're not, you don't get to have operating margins north of 25% for big pharma companies and get to claim high costs are the result of being at the forefront of medicine. Drug costs aren't calculated based on costs but o

That's a pretty short termist comment.. this is part of the plan to tackle and reduce co2 emissions and has nothing to do with reducing overall costs.. besides, I don't know if you noticed but electricity is not the only form of e

No, intercept missiles are not ballistic but are guided, which negates the distance factor as you can simply make course corrections while homing into the target. ICBMs travel at Mach 23 (28.000km/h), that is what makes it a hard targe

Are you just purposefully avoiding the question and intentionally misconstruing the op's intent? Again, what he's asking is who gets to decide what is a abuse of power and what is not? I think the example given by op is right on t

In the Netherlands, 36 hour workweeks (many workers doing the 4x9 set up), is becoming more normal. I'm in the financial sector and all of the large banks have a 36 hour workweek.

Maybe if you define quality of life very narrowly as material possession (in a very superficial sense) than yes, maybe? Sure, the average American drives a bigger car and lives in a bigger house than the average European, but I believe that

Yes, but atmospheric co2 sticks around for 300-1000 years and the resulting temperature spike should therefore definitely be detecteable. They might not be able to pin point the exact period of 100 years we started to industrialise but it w

I wouldn't see the BTC being closed out as a cost per se. Total value of assets hasn't changed he's now simply holding a bit more of his assets in cash.

Look the central point of fiat currencies is that it provides for monetary control to governments, which includes a measure of inflation. If you truly believe that replacing that with a non-state controlled currency that does not allow for

I really don't get this 'precedent being set' argument. I do agree that these extraordinary powers being granted to governments should have a due date build into the law as to make clear that this is a temporary measure for a

There is such a concept, rights owners just choose not to offer that option, which they're not obliged to. This works for them as most people do not how the technical know-how to break through the DRM and most people are therefore disc
